Interested to see if that catches on. Wonder how it feels compared to a normal fork. Got to try out a Lauf fork for a day last year which similarly has the axle behind the fork leg, although the thing was undamped. Felt kind of odd.

The big thing for me here is having the carbon lowers and linkages bashed by rocks. Fork lowers on my bikes have always taken a beating. Wonder how the carbon would hold up.

If it works as advertised, I'd rock that thing. Just need to hit a few lotto numbers to work it into the bike budget. $2700?!! Go piss up a rope.



Cancel the “push”!

Some pretty crazy stuff going on here...

(Let's say for the sake of argument that the bike actually performs as well as they say it will)


There's also this one that's similar in concept but the linkage is at the bottom:
